Craving Comfort - Amy
Amy is a stay-at-home mom of 2 girls, and her weight has been steadily rising since her teens. Amy suffers from back pain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and depression caused by her weight. She is scared she’ll have a stroke if she doesn’t get healthy and she is determined not to model her destructive eating patterns to her daughters.
Her husband, Chris, didn't like the attention Amy got from men when she slimmed down before, and admits to sabotaging her efforts last time. Amy was sexually abused as a child, and thinks that she has used her weight to shield herself from unwanted attention.
If Amy is going to change, she’ll need to get Chris on board and change her eating habits. That means no more getting up at night to gorge on leftovers, no more feeding her family junk and convenience foods, and finding time to fit exercise into her schedule. She is also going to have to address some of the demons from her past that still haunt her and trigger her emotional eating.
